DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be explained below with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

(Configuration) As shown in FIG. 1, the interactive data creation/updating device of the present invention includes a control command analysis section 1-
1, screen control section 1-2, screen display section 1-3, input data reading section 1-4, control judgment section 1-5, field control section 1-6, and data inspection section 1-7. , a data registration section 1-8, and four storage devices 1-9, 1-10, 1
-11, 1-12 and input/output device (display) 1
-13.

(Function) The control command analysis unit 1-1 analyzes instructions for screen transition, information on how to check fields on the screen, and data change instructions registered in the storage device (control command information) 1-9. A screen control table that analyzes information related to the input of data to be changed and manages only screen transitions, instructions to check data entered on the screen, message text when a check is incorrect, and requests to transition to the next screen based on input data. field control table and the file name in the data file for the change data,
A record position within the file and a change data input control table indicating a screen for modification are generated and registered in the storage device 1-10. Therefore, the storage device 1-10 is
Screen control table information, field control table information,
Data file format information and changed data input control table information will be stored.

The screen control unit 1-2 controls screen transitions based on a screen control table registered in the storage device 1-10. If it is a data change request, based on the change data input control table, the data file storage device 1-
12 and passes the data to be changed together with a screen display request to the screen display section 1-3. If data is to be created, a screen display request is passed to the screen display section 1-3. Further, screen transition condition data is passed to the control judgment unit 1-5, and field control table position information for checking the inside of the screen is passed to the field control unit 1-6.

The screen display section 1-3 reads the screen requested by the screen control section 1-2 from the storage device 1-11 in which the screen display information is registered, and if it is a change instruction, displays the screen in the data file 1-1. The data read from 12 is added to the screen based on the changed data input control table and displayed on the input/output device 1-13 provided with a display.

[0010] The input data reading section 1-4 reads data input by the user on the screen displayed on the input/output device 1-13.

The control determining unit 1-5 checks whether the user has instructed only screen transition based on the information passed from the screen control unit 1-2, and if it is a screen transition request, it issues a next screen display request. is notified to the screen control unit 1-2. If it is a request to check input data, the field control unit 1-6 is notified of the request to check input data.

The field control section 1-6 is a screen control section 1.
-2 and the field control table registered in the storage device 1-10, controls field check instructions and instructs the data inspection unit 1-7 to request data check. Also, when all field checks are completed, a request to display the next screen is sent to the screen control unit 1-2.
Notify.

The data inspection section 1-7 checks the input data and the values registered in the field control table, and if the data is correct, it is sent to the field control section 1-6, and if it is incorrect, it is sent to the input/output device 1. -13 displays an error message.

[0014] If input data is to be added to the storage device 1-12 based on the data file format registered in the storage device 1-10, the data registration section 1-8 inputs the input data to the data file. Register additionally. If it is a change, the input data is written back to the record position of the file specified in the change data input control table. When the data registration is completed, control is returned to the input data reading section 1-4.

The four storage devices are all disk devices, and the storage device 1-1 stores control command information for instructing screen transitions and field checks within the screen.
9, and a storage device 1-10 in which screen control table information, field control table information, data file format, and change data input control table information are stored.
, a storage device 1-11 in which screen display information is stored, and a storage device 1-12 for registering input data.

The input/output device 1-13 is a TSS terminal equipped with a keyboard and a display and communicates in an interactive manner via a suitable line.

(Operation) The operation of the apparatus according to the present invention will be explained based on the functional configuration diagram in FIG. 1, the flowchart showing the procedure of the screen control method in FIG. 2, and the structural diagrams in FIGS. 3 to 6.

First, in step 2-1 of FIG.
-9 is read, and in step 2-2, the read control command information is analyzed. Then, in step 2-3, based on the analysis results,
The screen control table shown in FIG. 4, the field control table shown in FIG. 4, and the data file table shown in FIG. 5 are created and registered in the storage device 1-10.

In step 2-4, the record with the screen table number 1 is read from the storage device 1-10 during the first processing, and the record with the requested screen table number is read and held from the second time onwards. If the screen identification name (screen key) of the read screen control table is empty information, the operation is terminated.

In step 2-5, it is determined whether a data change request has been made by a command, and if a change request has been made, in step 2-6, the data is transferred to the storage device based on the change data input control table information. The screen identification name indicated by the screen table number from 1-12 is the file name, and the record at the record position in the file is read and held.

In step 2-9, screen display information using the screen identification name of the held screen control table as a key is read from the storage device 1-11, and if there is change data, it is added and displayed on the display. In step 2-8, input data from the user is read.

[0022] In step 2-9, operation instruction information (instruction using a function key: hereinafter referred to as PF key) that indicates whether the user has requested a screen transition, and step 2-4
If they are equal, the screen table number corresponding to the PF key is extracted in order to request the next screen display in step 2-10. Instructs to read the record with the table number. If it is not a PF key, in step 2-11 the record of the field table number of the screen control table extracted in step 2-4 is read from the storage device 1-10 and held.

In step 2-12, a class check, a condition check, etc. are performed on the data input in 2-11 and the field indicated in the field control table using the check identification and check value. In step 2-13, if the check in step 2-12 is invalid and an error notification instruction request has been made, an error is displayed on the display in step 2-14 and the user is requested to re-enter the information, and step 2-14
Transfer control to 8.

If the data is not invalid, read the data file format of the input data in step 2-15,
If additional data is created, the screen identification name of the storage device 1-12 is added to the file whose file name is registered, and if the data is changed, the input data is indicated in the changed data input control table information of the storage device 1-12. The screen identification name indicated by the screen table number that is displayed is the file name, and is written back to the record position record within the file.

When the registration is completed, if the next field table number of the field control table held in step 2-16 is empty, the next screen table number is extracted in order to request the display of the next screen in step 2-15. Then read the record with the table number on the next screen Step 2-4
instruct. If there is a next field table number, step 2-9 is used to perform the next check in step 2-16.
instructs to read the record with the next field table number.
